There are two alternative specifications, each allocated to one half of ULA space. One has people randomly allocate addresses (in FD00::/8) in a way that makes it statistically improbable that two people will generate the same address and then want to communicate. The second way has the addresses (in FC00::/8) assigned "free" by a central authority thus preventing two people from using the same addresses. |
